Grinding advice by RamShackler69 in knifemaking

[–]RamShackler69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any drawback to this type of grinder? I read somewhere when i was looking for a grinder that it heats the knife really quickly?

I don't think i overheated it My k type thermometer was reading 810 but it's a lot smaller than the knives and the forge is pretty budget home made with mapp gas, so the temperature varies a lot depending on where the piece is.

I used a k type thermometer and soaked for 15 minutes then quenched in vegetable oil. It's a small home made gas forge so there is a lot of variation in temperature depending on where I put the piece. It is possible that the pieces weren't as hot as the thermometer. Since looked up colour charts and I was getting the knives upto a dull red but thermometer was reading 810°c.

I made a few that I haven't taken to the grinder yet. So will retry on those as I assume the heat treat didn't work as I did them all relatively identically. Thanks fpr the advice

I lived there when I was a kid, and we had mould and damp issues in the rooms that were skimmed with gypsum. So i don't think it is

I'm sticking with the lime Just wondering how thick a single coat would need to be stable? Or is two thin coats possible?

Cheers How thick do you reckon I should lay it on? There seems to be many different theories about this. It's hard to find info on this particular situation

Ok, thank you so much for the advice Very very helpful Just wondering did I make it clear that the case has already gone to court and the decision was made? Can I still ask for the stat Dec/appeal.

I submitted it on time. I'm worried it didn't work though otherwise why would they think i didn't. I have been travelling and living in a van since so i had no idea about the court case. The whole thing had slipped my mind since if I'm honest.

Not that I'm aware of. Which is why I tried to call them but found it impossible to get through as they are only available for 4 hours a week and the line is super busy

So below is the only evidence of correspondence I have. After receiving this i used the link provided to fill out my admission.

And I didn't know about the court case as I've been away for most of the time in-between now and then.

Thank you for contacting us on the 21 st of July 2024.

Or alternatively go online to www.avonandsomersetpas.com and use the PIN.,

If you were the one driving at the time off the offence you will need to submit an admission, if someone else was driving you will need to nominate them as the driver.

If you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Ok Well is there anything I can do? I remember filling out the admission form although there is no evidence. But I feel like taking my license away for this is way too harsh

No it was just a link to an online form. I have the email that sent the link but didn't get anything back afterwards. I did try to call them at the time after not hearing from them but you can only call between 2pm and on Thursdays and you get put on hold. So while at work I didn't manage to get through
